Open Your Toys Cast – Episode 107: Humble Pie…

If you didn’t know, I’m the "technical one" on the show. I always have been. Anytime something has gone wrong I try to figure out what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. In almost 90 episodes with Mrs. McFavorite I had a relatively good track record with only a couple lost shows/segments and just a couple "technical difficulties". I primarily attribute that to local recordings. Well in only 15 episodes with the new remote team we have lost one show, almost lost another, we’ve had to rerecord a couple segments and now this week’s kerfuffle. In playing with my new headset, I somehow turned on an echo. The guys couldn’t hear it and when I listened to the test recording everyone sounded great. In hind sight I must not have waited to hear me talk or I would have caught it. Well there’s another one for the list, ensure ALL hosts sound good on the test recording.

What’s worse than a bad recording? It happening on a great show or at least one we had a blast recording. Roger is back and so is Masterpiece Soundwave . Also back is the Lego Death Star , bigger and better than ever. Well at least more expensive than ever. Speaking of expensive, the Joe Club is back with it next installment of its FSS series . Are you in for a Shattered Glass twin(s)? Something that may be back and Vern is still not in is Power-Con . Boo this man.

I really enjoy every single episode you guys put out. Thank you for the two/three hours entertainment (long segment is not a bad thing).

Questions for the show:

* Lately I have been looking to see if there are some new MOTU figures to buy and saw the new Club GraySkull Filmation He-Man 2.0 at Matty but it was completely sold out. I don’t usually do figure subscription of any kind but will we see Filmation He-Man, Skeletor, and Trap Jaw 2.0 get a reissue sometime soon? Why can’t these figures be made and distribute to our local box retailers?

* Speaking of box retailers, do you guys remember your favorite 80’s store where you buy all your toys from? I remembered going to “Service Merchandise”, “BEST”, “RichWay”, and “Lionel Playworld”. What are you some of yours favorite 80’s stores?
